Connect CloudCard ID Photos MCP to Claude Code
Create your Vinkius account to connect CloudCard ID Photos to Claude Code and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Run Photo Audits from the CLI
Claude Code lets you manage your badge queue without opening a browser. You can pull data from the MCP Server and pipe it directly into terminal utilities. Run a command to trigger `list_submitted_photos` and filter the output. Claude Code can feed those results into other CLI tools to generate quick text reports.
Automate Badge Denials in Scripts
SREs can write shell scripts that integrate with this MCP server to automate photo rejections. Claude Code executes these tasks headlessly during scheduled maintenance windows. Use `deny_id_photo` to reject submissions that violate your corporate policies. Claude Code handles the reason codes right from your terminal prompt.
Check System Health via Claude Code
Monitor your photo integration status directly from your SSH session. Claude Code verifies your API credentials and endpoints without needing a GUI. The agent runs `check_api_health` to test the connection. Claude Code also queries `get_authenticated_profile` to verify your API user permissions.
